COMMENTS: Since I, SoSG Orel, was apparently fated to write this Game Thread, can we talk about fate for a minute? Were the Rangers fated to make their first World Series this year, or did they just manage to burn through the best of the AL East with talent and hard work? Are the Giants fated to return to the World Series for the second time in nine years, or do the Phillies have enough juice — which they had more than plenty of in 2008 and 2009, assholes — to make a comeback for the ages?

As we've discovered in our comments, you can lose years off your life rooting for a team not to win. Baseball just isn't as enjoyable when you're pulling for a negative outcome. But hell, everybody around here is half-happy that the Yankees are getting ready to hit the links, so what's another two Giants losses? Call it fate, or Phight — because I'm getting tired of rooting against the bad guys.

If there is any consolation for a sixth game, a Giants' victory would leave a lot of very sad Philly fans, and as much as I would hate to see the Giants celebrate, I would enjoy watching Phillie fans cry.

I'm probably going to be very unpopular for saying this, but I want the Phillies to get their asses handed to them tonight. Eliminate them at home, I say! Make them suffer! Then, in the World Series, I will be content if the Rangers kick the Giants asses and win it in 4 or 5 games, so they can celebrate at home.

DB - it's always port season although I think of it as an after dinner treat. If you ever see MB or any of her friends smoke a cigar with it, you will know we are all more than three sheets to the wind.
